Celebrity mummy: A day with Denise Richards

The Hollywood star enjoys an all-girls day out with her older daughters Sam and Lola and her new adopted daughter Eloise.

If you're inspired by Denise's choice of ruby-red carrier, why not try this one from Maxi-Cosi? The Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix Car Seat can be transformed into a handy infant carrier.

Celebrity dads: Ben Affleck and baby

Celebrity daddy Ben Affleck goes for a walk with his daughter Seraphina, handily transported in this pearly-pale, lightweight carrier. If you're looking for something similar, the Bebecar Ip-op Prive Travel System in Cotswold, comprising a pushchair, carrycot and car seat is a nice option, with its elegant, basket-weave finish.

Alanis Morissette, Jessica Alba, Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts

Celebrity parents: Alanis Morissette

Oh, how we wish we could look that chilled while out strolling with dog and baby in tow. Alanis has the relaxed new mama look off to a tee with her comfy clothing and BabyBjorn baby carrier combo. Baby son Ever, meanwhile, is tucked away from the sun's rays in a cute blue sunhat.

Celeb mum: Jessica Alba

Looking effortlessly chic, Jessica Alba steps off an aeroplane in New York with daughter Haven Garner Warren tucked up in a Britax pushchair. If only we looked this unruffled when we emerge from baggage reclaim! At least we can get our hands on the sporty Britax B-Smart 3 Pushchair which is suitable from birth and converts from a pram into a pushchair.

Celebrity Naomi Watts: New mum

The ice-blonde film star steps out in Manhattan with her new son, Samuel Kai. Naomi was wrapped up warm, while little Samuel Kai was protected from the elements by a baby blanket. If, like Naomi, you want to give your little one some quiet time or some extra protection while you're out and about, the Snoozeshade is a great alternative to blanket-draping. It fits around pushchairs and prams to give baby some precious naptime.
